Project Thunderbird (2071 – 2085)
Developed by Ætheon (a high profile "private military company/"PMC"), Project Thunderbird was the first successful of instance of “jet trooper” (colloquially known as “jetters”) being deployed into combat. Using cybernetically enhanced pilots (most of which were former US Air Force and Marines), the company was able to find work in conflict zones all over the world.
All jet suits contained an exoskeleton, joy stick controls, and numerous intakes and jets that could be adjusted in real-time for maximum maneuverability. Jet suits varied wildly according the pilot’s rank and personal preferences. Though the suit’s weaponry varied between pilots, the most popular weapons were twin rapid-fire plasma cannons and two pairs of missile launchers.
The most famous Jetter was Ariel Vazquez. Joining the program in 2072 at the age of 25, she displayed immense prowess with the suit and made headlines for her heroics in the Long Beach Excursion (2073), in which [REDACTED] surfaced off the coast of Long Beach, California and attacked the water front. Were it not for the timely intervention of the “Jetters”, the [REDACTED] would’ve wreaked untold destruction on the city proper. Vazquez would also participate in the Battle of Bend (2079), in which the nation states of Cascadia and Greater Idaho fought for control of a newly-discovered (and incredibly valuable) lithium deposit on the outskirts of Bend, Oregon. Being a PMC, Ætheon sided with the highest bidder (in this case, Greater Idaho) and wreaked massive casualties on the Cascadian military with their superior airpower.
Though effective, Project Thunderbird’s heavy and unwieldly jet suits would ultimately be phased out as the technology improved became more compact. However, it would leave a lasting impact on military combat (even going into the intergalactic age centuries later), with similar technology being deployed by the Royal Cobalt Space Navy (RCSN) via their “Gunzerker” program.
This is a contact print of the first 8x10 sheet I ever exposed. I’m working on a portrait project of people in my hometown of Vista, CA. Bethany was my first participant, and we made some great images together. Shot on Ilford HP5+, developed in Xtol, printed on Ilford MG Fiber, and finished in selenium.
This is an unfinished project I've been working back in the welcome home party days.
I wanted to post it and share it with you in a raw state because I would like to know your opinion about it.
(Made with vanilla, red paper, iphone photo, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe illustrator)
I received a new toy to enjoy my 365 project!! Let's play!!
I shoot with my Pentax 50mm 1.7. These days I'm going to practice a bit with this manual lense.
In 1986, a resident of this #Detroit neighborhood returned to find it in shambles. He organized a cleanup, and they used some of the detritus to create sculptures. It organically grew from there, and now consists of a dozen lots full of “junk sculptures.” A few more shots from #Heidelberg Project.
(Working on projects. I like to keep about a thousand active projects going at once. Have to be careful to start a bunch more right when I’m about to finish one.)
That embroidered felt cloche I’m copying for Navia made me realize I needed to practice embroidery more. So how about some little headbands to match another project, and of course some matching embroidered boot spats??
It snowed, so that means I really want to get out the doll horses. The weather has been just too cold to do it, but that’s given me time to put together some country riding outfits?
The first unit of the Optara project is moved out of the ABES terminal where it was discharged towards the Total refinery. The move was delayed by one day because of stormy weather on 21 October.
The 140 ton unit was manufactured in Spain by Tecnicas Reunidas and loaded on board of the heavy lift vessel Anne-Sofie at the port of Taragonna.
It is part of a 1 billion investment by Total in the Antwerp refinery which is the second largest refinery in Europe. The “Optara” project, as it has been named by Total, will involve 5 ship loads that will be brought in over the ABES Terminal at the 5th Haven dock.
The unit is loaded on a Goldhofer 4 file unit self propelled modular Transporter (SPT) for the transport from the terminal to the Total plant.
Details Goldhofer SPT :
Length : loading deck 16,50m (+4,00m for the engine)
Width : 6,29m
Height : 1,175m(+/- 0,3m)
Carrying capacity : 61,4 ton per axle (x 8 axles)
Each axle had 55° steering

This month is "Dedications Month".....Put simply it is just an excuse to post some more damn pics. So everyday (if I can) I will dedicate the "pic of the day" to people I either know on Flickr or out there in the big wide wonderful world.
If I do not dedicate something to you, please do not take offense......it is just that I forgot you existed, or couldn't be bothered about you or that your stuff is crap!!!!!!!!!........so it is nothing personal.
Hope you like the stuff............especially those people who I have ignored, owe money to or don't have large breasts.......that would be extremely gratifying...........
Dedicated to Dan Arsenault........
Obrigada a todos pelos "comments" e "views" ♥
Thanks all for "comments" and "views"" ♥

I am in yet another hotel. And more often than not I am finding that hotels are trying to do their part to protect the planet. For instance they will not change my sheets every day unless I put this card on my bed. Imagine the gallons and gallons of water saved, let alone the detergent.
Besides I only wash my sheets once a week at home... whether they need it or not ;-)
After the Great Blue Heron flew off, I backtracked to see if I could find him but to no avail and suddenly I came across this beauty. Long-eared Owl looking at me. He did not waste much time with me and flew off but I did get a couple of more sightings of him but not great ones. When he flew, something else caught my eye, another owl!
In early 2002, in a justified act of revenge, I stole my friend Andrea Zink's bra. You know, that fleshy, beige-coloured bra all girls own for under white or sheer tops.
I began a campaign to photograph as many friends, acquaintances and even family in the bra. Then I sent the photos to people I knew around the globe with as a postcard template which they printed out and mailed back to Andrea, convincing her that her bra was on a walkabout around the world—torturing her from each locale.
Andrea hated it. One day, figuring I must've been the cause of all this, she marched into my office and threw a particular postcard (#002 to be precise) at my head and yelled "Make it stop!"
I did not.
Looking down at the ground we see the forlorn west track of the CN Weston Subdivision. During the West Toronto grade separation project, the west track of the CN Weston and east track of the CP Galt Subdivisions were and still are temporarily abandoned, I presume to simplify operations.

The Dickens Project returns—a beloved SL winter holiday tradition where guests wander through the frosted streets and shadowed corners of Victorian London, walking in the very footsteps of Ebenezer Scrooge. Inspired in part by Charles Dickens’ iconic 1843 novella, this immersive world invites you to step inside the story, feel the warmth of glowing hearths, and rediscover the spirit of the season. Open December 4th, 2025.
This is the view from a rooftop bar called Dirty Little Secret. There are two other bars in the building - The Four Kings and The Five Stags. We'd been to the pub quiz at The Five Stags and Cam, who was the quizmaster when we quizzed at The Pub, told us to come up and see the views from here.
This junction is where the trolley bus lines go around the corner. You can see lines painted on the road and also the overhead lines for the trolley buses to get their power.

This building is just one of a large complex of buildings which were built in the 1930's as National Socialistic Political Educational Institution during the Third Reich period in Nazi Germany.
After the fall of the Third Reich it has been in use as a school, to house a Ministery and boarding school.
